What is Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?

With Zilliqa 2.0, we're introducing Proof-of-Stake (PoS)—a faster, more efficient consensus mechanism for the next evolution of our blockchain.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Validators stake $ZIL as collateral to propose blocks and earn rewards from transaction fees—no mining required!
✅ It’s energy-efficient, scalable, and maintains strong security by making attacks costly for malicious actors.

Why the shift? PoS outperforms traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) by consuming less energy while enabling a faster, more decentralised network.
